nilambita can be resolved as a prepositional (upasarga) compound.
The past pariciple lambita (Apte's dictionary) lists the meaning: resting on,
attached to.
The upasarga 'ni' has the sense (Apte's meaning 12.) Cessation.
Hence the word nilambita (ni+laMb+kta) would mean cessation of attachment.
Accordingly severance, dismissal or suspension from a party could be indicated.
Perhaps a more appropriate upasarga may be 'nir' which is also the equivalent
of 'un' in english. Hence nirlambita would mean 'unattached'.
Not all of these upasarga words are likely to be listed in the dictionary
unless they have an unusual meaning.

Subject: [Sanskrit] nilambita
Hindi newsbulletins use the word nilambita to say that a person
is dismissed or suspended from a party.
I could not locate any word as nilambana in Sanskrit.
But I could see the following words in Apte's discitonary.
lamb = to hang down etc.
avalamb = to hang, to be suspended.
aalamb = to lean upon
ullamb = to stand up
vilamb = to hang down, to delay
Can someone clarify?
